SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/91-01)

This refers to the inspection conducted by L. W. Garner of this office on

January 11 - February 15, 1991. The inspection included a review of activities

authorized for your H. B. Robinson facility.

At the conclusion of the

inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff

identified in the enclosed inspection report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.

Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records,

interviews with personnel,

and observation of

activities in progress.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation for failure to: specify adequate modification acceptance tests;

perform modification acceptance tests as specified; and to adequately

establish a procedure to perform required testing. We are concerned about the

violations because the review and/or oversight processes failed to identify

the inadequately established and implemented modification acceptance tests and

the inadequate calibration procedure.

Furthermore,

as described in the inspection report, we are concerned about the

implementation of your corrective action program which failed to ensure your

commitment was met to have a Plant Specific Technical Guideline completed by

September 28,

1990.

Consequently, your response should describe those

particular actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness of your

programs.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

The responses directed by this letter and its enclosure are not subject to the

clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No.96-511.
